Come and join the Wellington Branch of IT Professionals NZ for their first after work event for 2018!

Geospatial technology uses geography to integrate and combine data from diverse unrelated sources, organisations and users with no unique ID, to help identify new relationships in unconnected data. Technologies like IOT, self-driving cars, smart cities, and mobile all rely on location information.

Bring your mobile to this interactive session where we'll demystify the geospatial voodoo, share some tips and tricks as well as fundamental things to know to reduce pain points, user suffering and general IT system inflammation.

Henry Carthew from Beca Ltd. will present some practical use cases for GIS across a wide spectrum of industry from the use of drones in agriculture to the resilience of our transportation networks.
